Summary Context
This high level study looked at all kinds of studies on auto-immune reactions after mRNA vaccination. these showed people with pre-existing issues had flares, and new onsets reported of multiple sclerosis, lupus, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and other conditions.
Comments
Meta-analysis of over 100 studies of auto-immune responses after covid-19 vaccination. “Across 109 included studies, relapses or flares in patients with autoimmune disorders were reported in nearly 60% of studies, while about one-quarter described new-onset autoimmune disorders in persons without prior autoimmunity.”
Abstract or Results, Key Passages
“This review highlights the substantial patterns of reported associations of autoimmune disorders following COVID-19 vaccination, in patients with and without prior autoimmunity. The general and population-specific benefits of vaccination are claimed, but evidence for them is lacking. A proper evaluation of risks and benefits is needed to support vaccination recommendations given the reported associations between it and autoimmune disorders.”
